326 Hosting The Class Promotion Tournament

In addition, the body of the nascent soul was even more condensed, and it was as though it wanted to be reborn.

“The stronger the nascent soul, the more powerful the deterrence against the enemy!”

Shen Fei murmured. He opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face. He then ate the flame essence.

He was sweating all over and his face was flushed red as if he was boiling. At this moment, Shen Fei’s entire body was filled with energy.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a violent force gushed out of his pores and washed over his flesh. This caused his muscles to heat up, and it felt like magma ran in his veins.

“As expected of the legendary flame essence!” Shen Fei’s heart trembled as he endured the pain.

The pain was so immense that Shen Fei felt like he could not bear it, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. He chose not to give up, and instead, he activated the Burning Yang Hegemony Body Art to quickly devour the power of the flame essence. As a result, the pain was reduced, and gradually, he got used to the feeling.

After a period of time, Shen Fei finished absorbing the essence and stood up.

“Is this the medicinal power of the flame essence?” As he thought of this, the corner of Shen Fei’s mouth rose.

It was 5:30 in the afternoon. It was time to go to the academy.

Shen Fei’s phone suddenly rang. When he answered it, the principal’s voice came from the other end, “Shen Fei, have you reached the school? There’s still half an hour more before the class promotion tournament starts.”

“Got it, I’ll be right there. Please wait a moment, principal!” After saying that, Shen Fei hung up and headed straight for the academy.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Fei arrived at the academy. At this moment, the campus was filled with people. Students from the various departments had gathered in the center of the square.

“Look, Shen Fei is here!” Many students’ eyes lit up when they saw the young man walking toward them.

Shen Fei was handsome, with his shapely arched eyebrows and soulful eyes. His short hair fluttered in the wind, and he had the aura of a hero. He had a faint smile on his face, which looked particularly dazzling for a boy.

Shen Fei’s limelight had overshadowed everyone.

“No matter what, Shen Fei is a peerless talent.”

“He’s so handsome!” When Shen Fei walked closer, a girl’s cheeks turned red, and her heart beat wildly.

Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Shen Fei arrived at the arena and sat down in the prepared seat. After that, as the students chatted away, the vice-chancellors also arrived.

On the high platform, the principal, who was dressed in black, looked down at all living beings and said in a clear voice, “This year’s class promotion tournament will be hosted by Shen Fei! First of all, I would like to welcome everyone who has come to participate in the academy’s class promotion tournament!”

Instantly, thunderous applause rang out.

During this period of time, Shen Fei’s reputation in the academy had soared. He had become the idol of most of the students here.

Shen Fei walked up to the stage and took the microphone.

“Hello everyone, I am Shen Fei. Tonight is our academy’s annual class promotion tournament. This year’s tournament will determine the new class promotion ranking. Therefore, I hope that you will study hard and work hard in your cultivation, so that you can get a good result.

“Also, I hope that everyone can show off your strength to the fullest this time. Good luck, and strive for an excellent ranking!”

Next, the classes began to draw lots. Each group was assigned their match numbers. After drawing lots, the students went on stage one after another to display their respective martial techniques.

After the drawing of lots ended, an arrogant voice suddenly yelled, “Haha, Shen Fei, this time, I will definitely defeat you!”

Hearing this, many people raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a young man in a blue robe walk in. He had a buzz cut, a burly figure, and a fierce face, giving off a strong sense of danger.

“Isn’t that Zachary?” Many students were surprised when they saw who it was.

“That’s a senior student from our academy. He’s very strong!” Some of the new students gasped and did not dare rashly provoke him. After all, Zachary’s awakened talent was A-class.

Seeing this, Shen Fei lightly smiled. He shook his head and explained to everyone, “I’m sorry, I’m not a student this time. I’m the host, so I’m not qualified to participate.”

Hearing this, Zachary’s face froze in a stunned expression. He had thought that Shen Fei would fight with him, but he did not expect the latter to actually refuse.

“Hmph, since you’re not joining the battle, I’ll beat the other students to the ground!” Zachary coldly snorted. Then, he looked at Xiao Yuxuan, who was nearby, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“This girl is pretty.” He licked his lips, grinned, and pointed at Xiao Yuxuan. “I’m Zachary, and I want to challenge you!”

“I’m not willing to fight just anyone, so you won’t have the chance!” Xiao Yuxuan’s expression was cold as she looked at Zachary.

“This girl is quite spicy!” Hearing Xiao Yuxuan’s words, Zachary frowned, and a touch of hostility flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward, intending to spar with Xiao Yuxuan. “Since that’s the case, then let me experience your martial arts.”

“Are you sure?” Xiao Yuxuan asked, frowning.

“Hehe, enough with the nonsense!” Zachary smiled, appearing extremely confident. He had a strong build and he suddenly threw out a punch.

Then, a three-meter-tall spirit beast appeared in the air. This spirit beast looked like a giant ape was pouncing over. This was the spirit beast that Zachary had awakened—the Iron-armed Great Ape.

This was a king among high-rank spirit beasts. Its combat strength was astonishing, and it could tear steel apart with its bare hands.

“Zachary’s strength isn’t weak at all. He’s even awakened the Iron-armed Great Ape’s bloodline.” Seeing the spirit beast’s shadowy figure, many students were slightly moved.

“Hmph, although this guy is powerful, he won’t be able to block a single blow from that beauty, Xiao Yuxuan.” Another student, Liu Hao, commented.

“Hehe, hey, gorgeous, let’s have a spar.” Zachary’s lust-filled eyes fell on Xiao Yuxuan.

“In that case, come on!” Xiao Yuxuan flicked up her sleeves and flew up like a swallow. She stood in the air with her clothes fluttering in the wind, and she looked like a fairy.

“So beautiful.” Seeing Xiao Yuxuan fly up, many people could not help but widen their eyes.

“Hehe, heroic and beautiful. I like it!” Zachary’s eyes revealed his infatuation.

A moment later, Xiao Yuxuan summoned her spirit beast—a Golden-winged Roc.

The Golden-winged Roc cried and flapped its wings.

The crowd was in an uproar when Xiao Yuxuan summoned her spirit beast, and a student commented, “Is that a descendant of the Golden-winged Roc?”

Under everyone’s gaze, the Golden-winged Roc reached out its talons and swiped at the Iron-armed Great Ape.

The two collided, and a terrifying shockwave erupted. A large area of the nearby structures were shattered.
